Optimize RV Selective Site Pacing Clinical Trial

January 24, 2013 updated by: Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure
The purpose of the Optimize RV study is to determine the long-term effect of selective site pacing. Selective site pacing refers to which area of the right ventricle the lead is placed. The goal of select site pacing is to improve how the heart contracts when paced in the ventricle. By pacing in select sites, it is possible to better copy the natural pattern of contraction of the heart.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Change in Left Ventricular (LV) Ejection Fraction From Baseline to Two Year Follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) will be measured at baseline and two year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in LVEF from baseline to two year follow-up will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in LVEF.
Baseline and 24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Change in LVEF From Two Week Visit to Two Year Follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) will be measured at two week visit and 2 year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in LVEF from two week visit to 2 year follow-up will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in LVEF.
Baseline and 24 months
The Change in Six-minute Hall Walk Distance
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months
The change in six-minute hall walk distance will be measured at two week visit and 2 year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in six-minute hall walk distance will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in six-minute hall walk distance.
Baseline and 24 months
The Change in Left Ventricular (LV) End Systolic Volume (Diastolic Volume) After Two Years Follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months
LV end systolic volume (diastolic volume)will be measured at baseline and 2 year follow-up for the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex. The change in LV end systolic volume (diastolic volume)from two week visit to 2 year follow-up will be compared between two groups to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on the change in LV end systolic volume (diastolic volume).
Baseline and 24 months
Clinical Event (AT/AF Pnly or Composite of Worsening of Heart Failure, Stroke or Death) Rate From Baseline to Two Year Follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months
Clinical event (AT/AF pnly or composite of worsening of heart failure, stroke or death) rate from baseline to two year follow-up will be estimated and compared between the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on clinical event rate.
Baseline and 24 months
Clinical Event (Composite of Worsening of Heart Failure, Stroke or Death) Rate From Baseline to 2 Year Follow-up
Time Frame: Baseline and 24 months
Clinical event (composite of worsening of heart failure, stroke or death) rate from baseline to 2 year follow-up will be estimated and compared between the group of pacing at RV Mid-Septum and the group of pacing at Apex to identify if pacing at selective RV sites (Mid-Septum or Apex) will have a different long term impact on clinical event(composite of worsening of heart failure, stroke or death)rate.
